weezer is my favorite band to play bass along to. it's simple enough so that i can keep up with the changes even while i'm sort of thrash-dancing around my room and tripping over my dress. and rivers cuomo is a sexy geek.

woke up this morning after having a strange dream about a necklace that makes women into pale-faced somewhat vampiric beings that seduce men and bleed them a little bit because they like to see the blood. dreams of this sort don't shock me, because a) i'm a buffy fan and b) i work with tubes of people's blood ALL DAY LONG and get paid well for it.

the paper journal is a huge success. i've already filled 22 pages in the past week. i keep it at my side at all times. lately a lot of rhyming verses have popped into my head and i'm writing them all down. i also have started really utilizing my sketch book, to plan drawings with a good design and color balance.
i feel like i can call myself an artist again. some time to myself was just what i needed.
